| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Background: Non cardiac chest pain can be caused by esophageal
problems such as gastroesophageal reflux or smooth muscle motor disorders. Aim: To perform
esophageal manometry in patients with non cardiac chest pain. Material and methods: One hundred
patients with chest pain in whom coronary problems were discarded, were studied. A computerized
esophageal manometry was performed in all and 24 hours esophageal pH measurement was done in
21 patients. Results: Esophageal manometry was normal in eight patients. Nutcracker esophagus was
the most common finding, in 36 patients. Twenty eight had a hypotensive sphincter, 16 had unspecific
motor disorders, nine had diffuse esophageal spasm, two had a non achalasic esophageal aperistalsis
and one had a hypertensive sphincter. Conclusions: Only eight of 100 patients referred to esophageal
manometry for non cardiac chest pain, had a normal study. | en |
